priest, and with Him were assembled all the
chief priests, mid the elders, and the scribes."
After the darkness and agony of tho
garden, being strengthened by an angel, He
went forth to lay down His life of His own
uee.ord (John x., 18). Tho boastful disciples
all forsook Him and fled (verses 31, 50). Tho
young man of verses 51. 52 was probably
Mark himself, as in other eases the unnamed
one was doubtless the writer of the gospel

buiinil (John xviii., 12), is led as a lamb to
the slaughter (Isaiah liii.. 7), for those before
whom lie was brought had long before
determined to kill Him (Math, xii., 24; John
xi.. 58).
51. "And I'eter followed Him afar off. even i
into the palace of the high priest, and he sat
with the servants and warmed himself at the
fire." The result of Peter's following afar
of! and being in bad company is seen in I
verses 66 to 72 following the lesson. Self
eonlldeut boasting Is very apt to lead to rash
conduct, bad company and many worse
things, as in the case of Peter. ^Ve must

In the Lord and let Him perfect His strength
in our weakness (Phil. iii.. 3; Kph. vi., 10; II

DAIRY FARMS W CAROLIWA.
A Profitable Method of R?et?Hng
Worn Out Lands.
In a communication to the Charleston
Newt, and Courier, I. W. Hart of
the dairy department, Clcmson Col- !
lege, aays:
South Carolina possesses splendid
advantages for dairying. The dairy
industry has enriched ami is maintaining
the fertility of the lands !
of the West that were fast being 1
robbed of their productiveness by the
growth ami sale of wheat, and it will
do the same for the worn lands of the
South.
At no period of the world's history
has any country continued to prosper
under such conditions ap obtain under
the tenant system of the South, and
it in only through the great but not
inexhaustible fertility of the soil that
permits thin aystero to be continued.
With it contrast the tenant system of
Great Britain. There the trained intellect
of the landlord, often an Oxford
or Cambridge graduate, directs the
minutest details of the management of
his estate, sees that a proper system
of rotation in cropping is carried on
and thftt out of the returns from the
sales of produce, cotton seed meal and
other rich feeding stuffs are bought to
increase the fertility of his already
fertile acres. The result is that her
soil is far more fertile than when the
feet of Ciesar's conquering legions first
pressed her shores. and it is to England
that the world goes for improved
breeds of hotses, cattle, sheep
and swine.
The wasteful and improvident methods
of farming followed in the South
are rapidly exhausting the fertility
accumulated by centuries of plunt
growth and decay. When the time
arrives, as come it must, where little
or no fertilizers ure put back on the
laud to take the place of those removed
by the crops, when the crop
will not pay the expenses of growing
it, the farmer leaves the land for
washes and gullies to complete the de
structioa.
Under the old style of gold mining,
much gold was lost owing to the crudeness
of the machinery nnd the methods
employed; with improved appliances
the waste of the eld crushers is now
being profitably worked over. In like
maimer land that has been exhnusted
by constant cropping can be profitably
worked and made rich aaain with that
improved machine, the dairy cow.
The great necessity of the farmer
to-day in n better knowledge of hi6
business and better business methods.
Having the former, he will take greater
interest in the great and intricate
problems which he assists nature in
solving, aud will endeavor to act in
co-operation with her, and the latter
will cause him to drop the old slip-shod
methods of doing and to compete with
his fellows in other callings in the
struggle for existence. A held of cows
requires the best attention the owner
can give 36") days in the year. A lazy
man will never make a successful dairyman,
never. Neither will the man
who works with his muscles only,
thereby saving head-work To succeed,
the dairyman needs to have a
natural fondness for cattle. When the
dairyman puts the same amount of at
tciition upon hip business a- the average
business or professional man dot s
upon his he will sneered, and not till
then.
Much of the land in the upper part
of the State is too hilly lor profitable
cult.\atiou. Upon land ol this character
the sweetest herbage grows, aud
with such pasturage, together with the
elear ami sparkling water which
abounds, as fine butter and cheese an
is produced anywhere oil earth maybe
made. In Indian eorn we have the
cheapest cow feed that can be grown,
except pasture grass, and with the silo
the whole- plant may be preserved in a
palatable and succulent condition. Hecause
Indian eorn does not contain the
diSFereut materials needed for tin- animal
body in proper propoi tions, eorn
silagt is not a complete 'ood. and it i6
not economical to feed it alone. Supplemented
with cotton seed or cotton
seed meal and cow pea vine hay, we
have a ration which, for combining
quality w ith low cost,cannot be exec lied.
South Carolina herds contain large
infusions of Jersey blood, and the
milk yiolcled by them is far richer in
solids than the milk of cows of milk
producing districts at the North. The
health of our herds is also better.
Hov.ne tuberculosis. that terrible
scourge, is known here only by name.
r*u t a a ? a i
-i I** amauiage me oorin possesse
over us in the matter of climate is more
apparent than real, in fact our climate
the year around is better adapted for
the production of tirst-class dairy goods
than that of New York or Wisconsin.
Cheap ice, however, has given the
North a decided advantage over uh in
the summer production of fine butter,
un advantage the dairymen have not
been alow to seize. .But science in now
coming to the aid of the Southern dairyman
with artificial refrigeration. So
cheaply are small ice plants now run
in connection with the other machinery
in creameries, that many creameries
located where ice is a
certain crop, are not going to the
small expense of cutting and storing
it. There can be no doubt but that
thcRC small refrigerating machines will
soon be made cheap enough to use in
the private dairy.
I
It n often claimed that we Mere ne
large urban population, and that if
largely made batter would become a |
drug upon the market. Good butter j
rarely fails to briDg a remunerative
price. Whenever we can make more
than enough butter to supply the local
trade we can ship our surplus to the
Eastern markets. Elgin, 111., the
great butter producing centre of the
West, is farther from the markets than
we ure.
Dairying is not a sure and sudden
way to get rioh, but it returns a safe
ar'1 steady income the year round. In
th. uatter of direot return* the producers
of milk should not expect too
much. They cannot force up the j
market end of the business, but tbey
have hold of the home end, and should
direct every effort to bring the cost of
production down. The Northern farmer
finds dairying profitable, yet his
milk the season round does not return
him over eighty cents per hundred
pounds, about seven cents per gallon
on the average.
Many South Carolina farmers, with
whom I have conversed, have told me
that they could not produce milk profitably
for less than 20 cents a gallon.
With intelligent handling of pood
cows there is no reasou why milk cannot
be produced more cheaply here
than at the North and as the price of
dairy products rule higher, the profits
should be much greater.
Condition of the Crops.
Director Bauer in his crop bulletin
for the past week eayts:
Cotton is about all planted In the eastern
portion of the State, and is nenriug completion
in other sections. From Fairfield county
westward there remain.- from cue-fourth
to one-third of the crop yet to plant. Cotton
has attained a good stand where up. and is
coming up well all over the State. It is very
generally reported that there will be less than
the usual amount of eotton planted this year.
Sea island eotton has a good stand and is
large enough to work.
Com has been nearly all planted, except
possibly bottom lands, which continue too
wet for proper preparation. The stand of
corn that is up is reported variable, being
very good from all plantings in the southern
portions of the State generally, while the
western and northern counties report poor
stands from earliest planting, necessitating
much replanting. Iu Newberry county fields
in which the oats were winter-killed are being
lurgely planted to corn. The general
opinion seems to be that there will be no
more land Dlanted to corn than last year.
Early corn "is large enough to receive its llrst
working.
Tobacco has been much improved by the
rains, and the wet ground is in the best possible
condition for transplanting from the
beds to the fields, which is now being done.
Grains of all kinds continue to do well,
being favored by the weather. Wheat especially
has made rapid improvement lately.
Oats are also growing off well.
Sugarcane and sorghum are receiving a
great deal of attention, not only for the produets
manufactured from them, but also for
fodder to supplement tbe oats crop, which
will be a short one, owing to the failure of
winter oats. Sugurcane, neanuts and peas
will also be planted to produce fattening feed
for hogs.
Hioe planting has made considerable progress,
having been pushed were tbe condition
of the ground permitted; but in Georgetown
county the river is too high, greatly
hindering planting, but where practicable
early planting is nearly completed. Reports
from interior points indicate that a great deal
oi upland rice will he cultivated.
Irish potatoes were seemingly doing well,
And new potatoes are now on tbe market.
Sweet potato slips are being planted under
very favorable condition- ou account oi tbe
